Rothenburg

We headed to Rothenburg for a couple of days. The name "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" means, in German, "Red fortress above the Tauber". The town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River, and is best known for its well-preserved medieval old town.

This is the first time we've been, but plan on going back! It's a fabulous town, with beautiful buildings and scenery. We stayed in a great hotel inside the city wall, with a perfect location on the Marktplatz. I love towns where you can park your car and walk around for the weekend.
